Remember, in order for pain to result, no matter how severe the herniation looks, the disc material must compress a nerve tissue directly or irritate it through chemical radiculitis. I was shocked to see my own horrific looking herniation at this level after undergoing a cervical MRI in The effect was the typical nocebo and enacted symptoms in me that I never had prior to discovery.

Luckily, I understand this negative conditioning process and used the alternative medical techniques of knowledge therapy to regain control of my life, despite still having some degree of fear concerning this drastic disc pathology.

However, if your pain has resisted a variety of seemingly appropriate treatments, I can say without much doubt that the diagnosis is likely to be wrong and the herniated disc is not likely to be the actual reason for the pain, but merely a coincidental imaging finding.

Always insist on evaluation of any cervical herniation by a specialist in spinal neurology. This spinous process can be easily seen and felt at the base of the neck, making it a prominent landmark of the skeleton and giving the C7 the name vertebra prominens. The C7 is located in the spinal column inferior to the 6th cervical C6 vertebra and superior to the first thoracic T1 vertebra.

Posterior to the body is a thin ring of bone known as the vertebral arch. The vertebral arch surrounds the hollow vertebral foramen and provides muscle attachment sites to the C7 vertebra.

Delicate tissues, including the spinal cord and nerves, pass through the vertebral foramen and are protected by the vertebral arch. Extending from both lateral sides of the vertebral arch are the transverse processes and their tiny, hollow transverse foramina. The lower end of this motion segment articulates with the first vertebra of the thoracic spine T1.

Due to its load-bearing function, the C6-C7 motion segment is susceptible to degeneration, trauma, and intervertebral disc dysfunction. Watch Cervical Vertebrae Anatomy Animation. See Cervical Spinal Nerves. Due to its load-bearing function, the C6-C7 motion segment may be affected by a number of problems:.

See Compression Fracture Treatment. A dull ache or burning pain may occur in the lower cervical area, often accompanied by neck stiffness.

See What Is Cervical Radiculopathy? When the spinal cord gets injured at C6-C7, pain, weakness, or paralysis may occur in one or more parts of the body below the injured level. Typically, nonsurgical treatments are tried first to control the symptoms of C6-C7 injuries.

If nonsurgical treatments do not provide relief, surgery may be considered.
